You want some more data, go to https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#demographicsovertimeBut, but but.... LONG COVID!!!
A Doctor friend has a theory on long covid. Something called POTS it happens as a reaction to a virus. Very similar symptoms to long covid. There was some info on it Dec 2020 and then it was dropped. He's doing some more digging.But, but but.... LONG COVID!!!
Every variant spread world wide rapidly. And the first ones did so with severe international travel restrictions, masking, economic shutdown, and other precautions. This virus spreads rapidly somehow in some way they either don’t understand or aren’t telling us. Said so a year ago when the first variants went global in a month.Gain of function?
I don't think there is any mystery here.Every variant spread world wide rapidly.

This virus spreads rapidly somehow in some way they either don’t understand or aren’t telling us. Said so a year ago when the first variants went global in a month.
My point was that all variants spread globally quite rapidly I spite of all extreme mitigation efforts. Some how it crossed oceans...and continents, and borders despite unprecedented attempts to stop it. Something doesn’t add up.I don't think there is any mystery here.
R0 is very high, for Omicron it's estimated at 10.
Let's assume you're infectious for 10 days on average.
That means you infect 10 people in 10 days.
So, 1 person goes to 10 in 10 days.
Those 10 go to 100 after 20 days.
Those 100 go to 1000 after 30 days.
1000 to 10000 in 40 days.
100000 to 1000000 in 60 days.
Now, consider that it isn't detected until we've got more than a thousand infected (I'm making that up, but if you think it gets detected at person 0, no way), you've got a million people in 30 days from detection.
And honestly, I think the infection period is probably shorter than 10 days, maybe more like 7 days (again, I'm just making this up, cause it's too much work to dig).
Mitigation efforts?My point was that all variants spread globally quite rapidly I spite of all extreme mitigation efforts. Some how it crossed oceans...and continents, and borders despite unprecedented attempts to stop it. Something doesn’t add up.
Right- and now the media is spinning the narrative that "not everyone who died or is in the hospital was becasue of Covid, it was just with Covid." Which is what everyone has been saying for over a year........ but the numbers are killing this admin, so they need to flip the script.You dear sir just nailed #4 on your list. AP will no longer report on new cases. Such bullshit!
He definitely has a clear bias as he tries to pretend he is a neutral (history) expert.Tom is a real punk. I have no respect for the guy.
He says no politics and then posts positively about Hannah Nicole Jones.
Funny how that works! Shows the inherent bias!Right- and now the media is spinning the narrative that "not everyone who died or is in the hospital was becasue of Covid, it was just with Covid."

But thats not how they count Flu deaths. Now if they change that going forward I'll agree with "because" of Covid. I do know someone(a doctor) who's mother died early on of a bowel issue and she had covid and they labeled her as dying of covid. The family tried to get it changed, never heard if they did.Obviously, there are many young people in the hospital WITH Covid, rather than because of Covid. So, since there are otherwise so very few young people in the hospital because of Covid, even a little changes the statistics.
Same with deaths among young people - we are talking roughly 600 total deaths under 21. All it takes is a few miscodings and you've got "young people dying". Of course, it isn't convenient now, so that has to be knocked down.
But the death count - that's real and because of Covid, not with Covid. Were they all with comorbidities - yes.
somebody posted that the govt paid for their loved one's funeral because it was tagged as COVID related. Perhaps just a little incentive for the family, I guess.But thats not how they count Flu deaths. Now if they change that going forward I'll agree with "because" of Covid.

Well, I'm not so sure. You should talk with some people who work in hospitals, particularly the emergency room. People showing up to hospitals are really sick and not from covid, but mainly because they waited to seek medical help for things that would have been routine had they not waited.Obviously, there are many young people in the hospital WITH Covid, rather than because of Covid.

That was me and it's a whole lot of incentive. My neighbor was furious that they had put covid on the death certificate when her father died of a stroke and she fought with them to have it changed. They claimed he had "symptoms", yet never actually tested him for covid and they wouldn't change it. They gave her a form to fill out to get the funeral expenses paid (yes, it's not automatic as you have to fill out a form), that is approved if submitted with a death certificate that states covid.somebody posted that the govt paid for their loved one's funeral because it was tagged as COVID related.

Exactly. The Dems always utilize false flags as distractions from the plethora of issues their agenda and policies are creating for this country. They’ve ridden the ‘plan-Demic’ for 2 years now, along with Racial divide, Russian interference, white supremacy, voter discrimination, etc…. All the while the country goes further into the toilet. Although Biden & Harris’ ratings are also in the toilet by almost every measure & every demographic.Because we can‘t talk about supply chain shortages, inflation, the border crisis, the rise in crime, Putin flexing his muscles, same with China, same with NK.......
Interesting… I personally know of 2 people that have suddenly collapsed. They were taken by ambulance to ER and tested positive for Covid. Both collapsed at the very beginning of showing symptoms. By very beginning, I mean feeling good in the morning and few hours later collapsing. Sounds very plausible POTS could be a response to Covid. But who knows, we may never know.

Hospitals are receiving federal funding for every covid admission and every covid death. Depending on financial situation family can receive federal money for funeral expenses.somebody posted that the govt paid for their loved one's funeral because it was tagged as COVID related.

I have never heard of POTS, a neurocardio complication where the controls on blood vessels and blood pressure is disturbed. Sounds like a serious condition requiring immediate treatment. Rapid heart rate, dizziness, light headed upon standing. Can last for several years if untreated. Many people suffer from long Covid and this could be one reason.Interesting… I personally know of 2 people that have suddenly collapsed.

Good luck to your wife. Hope it works it’s way out soon.I haven't weighed in much on this- but fwiw our suburban Philly high school- where I teach- had 365 students AB yesterday which represents 1/4th of the student body. Obviously not all Covid...but definitely significant. Staffing has been AB at about 10-15% daily since the new year. I got it the week before Christmas Break. Many of my colleagues infected their family lines on Christmas Eve. At least where I live it's real. I had almost no symptoms...unfortunately my wife is not fairing as well...she is working from home til February. Thankfully she can use the nebulizer when the coughing spasms are overboard. Hang in everybody.
I like this guy. He just talks data... no politics.... Shows what is happening in the world. Looking at data in the UK.... Omnicron is a massive spike... quick rise up and quick fall. He supports all his talk with data studies which he references.... He thinks the US is about 2 weeks away from peaking based on the data in the US and patterns in UK. He talks about masks, vaccine effectiveness....everything... It is completely worth listening to......he has no agenda.
I was flipping through channels and saw a review of the Penn State Ohio State roundball game. So I lingered. They kind of made a big deal that they were social distancing between the coach and interviewers. Then they'd show clips of the game. The clips were showing 20,000 people packed together. Yet, nobody caught the irony of the whole thing.Sounds like CNN is even getting fed up with the CDC recommendations. And they wonder why people are not listening.

Look at the NBA, all the players and coaches and players on the bench have cloth masks on, like that is going to do anything in a 20,000 seat arena full of people for a few hours combine with the amount of time these guys spend together in planes and locker rooms and meeting rooms, etc....problem is we need some grown-ups to take a leadership role, get rid of the psuedo science making people feel good and talk straight with people on the risks and what can be done about them, etc....I was flipping through channels and saw a review of the Penn State Ohio State roundball game.

Erin Andrews interviewed a football player recently, practicing all of the standard protocols like distancing and masks for the close ups. After the interview, they cut to a wider shot while the broadcast team imparted some closing thoughts. You could see the two of them get close and hug for almost a minute; no protocols in place.Look at the NBA, all the players and coaches and players on the bench have cloth masks on, like that is going to do anything in a 20,000 seat arena full of people for a few hours combine with the amount of time these guys spend together in planes and locker rooms and meeting rooms, etc....problem is we need some grown-ups to take a leadership role, get rid of the psuedo science making people feel good and talk straight with people on the risks and what can be done about them, etc....

i think it is pretty well established now that the vaccines don't really do much of anything with respect to contracting Omicron. Probably help some in reducing the length and severity of symptoms and definitely help in keeping out of the hospital. But as for contracting it (and spreading it) appear to be limited to no benefit.My sister is a physicians assistant in PA. Fully vaccinated with booster shot. She tested Covid positive Friday.
Erin Andrews, I believe you meant? She has done that multiple times…Pseudo- Science indeed!Karen Andrews interviewed a football player recently, practicing all of the standard protocols like distancing and masks for the close ups.

A reduction in symptoms probably equals a reduction in viral load so it would help to reduce spreading.i think it is pretty well established now that the vaccines don't really do much of anything with respect to contracting Omicron.

Yep. Useless cloth masks.
